Returns to Game
A fighting Bishop quintet sent the dope bucket rocketing sky high when they overcame a 10-2 first quarter lead to completely overthrow the Cherry and Black of Episcopal High School, by the decisive margin of 39-21. The Garnet and White, slated to lose by a good margin, rose to
unprecedented heights, and led by Billy Formwalt and Captain Harris broke through the hitherto airtight defense of Episcopal to allow the im- pressive V. E. S. captain to ring up twenty-two points, which was more than the combmed scoring of the entire Alexandria team.
The boys from Alexandria started affairs with a rush that looked ex- ceedingly dark for the locals, and led 10-2 at the end of the initial canto, but an indomitable fighting pentagon clad in garnet and white could not be held out of its victory and by holding E.

Mr. Mattfield acted as master of
such lucid manner as to be extreme- ly informative to his lay hearers. There was no talking down to his
young audience. On the contrary, the speaker seemed to be listening to his own words through boys' ears and testing his remarks with good solid boy judgment. H e was con- versational in his attitude, eliciting absolute interest in his audience, yet all the time displaying the easy dig- nity which young gentlemen admire.
